Not all events and meet ups are suggested by organised groups - families often just fancy a bit of company on their trip to a museum, park or other outing. If you would like to suggest a casual meet up you can let us know - or find other people's outings here. Register for an account to submit your events.

If there's a group you think we should include, online or in person, then please let us know. We will check with the group's organisers before including it in the list. If you are thinking of setting up a group then you might find our (very) Rough Guide useful.
